on is running at constant speed in the top ioure above. Aer toward a gszelie that is seconds, the garele notices the lon to pass the lion and ferce him to of the gazele. The kon and the gazele pazele accelerates toward and past the on, the lion changes direction and eventually each reach constant but difterent speeds. Which of the graphs shows a reasonable represenation ofte-on-s ene lon and he garele as functions of time? ollowing sets of Overview Time LION GAZELLE Time LION GAZELLE 3Time 0 LION GAZELLE

Explanation / Answer

Assume the velocity to the right to be positive, and velocity to the left to be negative.

The lion, in the beginning, has negative velocity and then accelerates to a positive velocity in pursuit of the gazelle.

The gazelle has zero velocity in the beginning and then a positive velocity after several seconds.

Hence the first set of graphs are correct.
